PACO AND THE GIANT CHILE PLANT ~
PACO Y LA PLANTA DE CHILE GIGANTE
written by Keith Polette
illustrated by Elizabeth O. Dulemba
Raven Tree Press
Trade Picture Book - Available NOW!!!
Paco takes the familiar "Jack and the Beanstalk" tale and gives it more than a few new twists. Told as a fractured fairy tale, our hero, Jack,
is now called Paco, and the story takes place in a beautiful desert setting in the American Southwest.
The story is presented as an English text with embedded Spanish in rojo. A vocabulary page is included to jump start learning in either language.
